Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify th patterns in the news reporters' information seeking behaviors by observing their web activities. For this purpose, transaction logs collected from 23 news reporters were analyzed. Web tracking software was installed to collect the data from their PCs, and a total of 39,860 web logs were collected in two weeks. Start and end pattern of sessions, transitional pattern by step, sequence rule model was analyzed and the pattern of Internet use was compared with the general public. the analysis of pattern derived a web information seeking behavior modes that consists of four types of behaviors: fact-checking browsing, fact-checking search, investigative browsing and investigative search.

본 연구의 목적은 기자직의 웹 행동 분석을 통해 웹 정보탐색행위 패턴의 특성을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 기자직 23명을 대상으로 트랜잭션로그를 수집하여 분석하였다. 데이터 수집을 위하여 분석 대상의 컴퓨터에 웹 트래킹 소프트웨어를 설치하였으며, 2주 동안 총 39,860개의 웹 로그가 수집되었다. 세션의 시작과 종료 패턴, 단계별 이행 패턴, 순차규칙 모형이 분석되었으며, 기자직과 일반인의 웹 이용 패턴을 비교하였다. 이를 토대로 기자직의 웹 정보탐색행위 패턴을 사실확인형 탐색, 사실확인형 검색, 조사형 탐색, 조사형 검색 등 4가지 형태로 유형화하였다.
